Firing on all cylinders. Dageneau silex-ish for a fraction of the price. Need more of this in our lives! Happy birthday Mari!!

Very possibly the most delicious and expressive Sancerre I've ever tasted. Mind-blowingly long on the finish.

Vintage 2011 / Festive bottle, the last from a box of 6. I enjoyed each one thoroughly. Now for Sunday lunch with Gamberi Croccanti. Excellent balance. Sancerre can be so góód.

Medium golden color. Expressive aromas of lime, lemon and flint. The complex palate features grapefruit, almond and roasted coconut. Lovely mineral note on the finish. Nice creamy texture. Quite concentrated, plush and beautifully balanced. Outstanding! Appreciate you sharing this wine, Kase!

Bright florals, lime, lemon peel and stone. Perhaps green melon. Fully realized and complete. Perfectly balanced.
The equal of 2 unicorn SB that will not be named.

I loved this wine! Brought home by friends from a recent trip to the winery. Smooth yet refreshing. Perfect with roast chicken and couscous.
